Profhilo is a non‑crosslinked hybrid of high‑ and low‑molecular‑weight HA used in small, strategically placed deposits to improve skin quality and early laxity without adding facial volume. It’s typically delivered as a two‑session plan.
What it treats (best suited)
- Crepey texture and early laxity on face and neck
- Selected décolletage and hand cases needing better sheen
Who it’s not ideal for
- Those needing lift/contour (consider HA fillers or biostimulators first)
- Active skin infection/inflammation
How it works
Profhilo is placed at defined points (face/neck patterns vary) where it diffuses to hydrate and support the superficial dermis, enhancing smoothness and firmness without altering facial shape.
Treatment areas
- Face and neck (most common)
- Décolletage and hands (selected candidates)
Session plan
- Initial: Typically 2 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart; some add a third at 4–8 weeks.
- Maintenance: Every 6–12 months as advised.
Comfort & aftercare
- Tiny deposits create small bumps that settle over 24–72 hours (area‑dependent). Makeup usually paused for several hours.
Results & longevity
- Glow and smoothness build over weeks following the second session; maintenance sustains results.
Skin of colour
- Generally suitable; discuss bruise/PIH prevention and staged plans with your clinician.
Combines well with
- Lift/tighten (if laxity is a priority): Sofwave or Ultherapy
- Colour/texture: BBL HERO, M22 IPL, LaseMD Ultra, or Frax 1940 for neck/chest/hands
How it compares
- Unlike fillers, Profhilo is not for shaping; compared with other boosters, it’s often delivered as a fixed two‑session plan for early laxity/crepe skin.
Safety notes & contraindications
- Temporary bumps/bruising are common and settle; avoid treating over active dermatitis or infection.
FAQs
Will Profhilo lift my face?
